Second edition first dated edition; 4to 20.2 x 14.5 cm; dated ownership inscription in pen to title Roman and Greek type lower edge of G1 torn with loss not affecting text slight toning and soiling occasional underlining in ink; 19th-century vellum gilt spine gilt in compartments gilt lettering to second and fifth compartments on black morocco lettering-pieces edges stained red slight warping to upper board light soiling to boards; collation: A8 B4 C8 D4 E8 F4 G-H6 with final blank leaf H6 present ff. The scarce first dated edition of Erasmus' Moriae Encomium an important work of humanist rhetoric which satirised the corruption and religious hypocrisy of Europe's elite. Printed two months after the undated Paris edition by Gilles de Gourmont of which only a handful of copies survive all of them in institutional libraries. The present edition almost as rare is not merely a reprint of the Paris edition but contains additional material including an address and laudatory letter to Erasmus by his fellow humanist Jakob Wimpfeling. All early editions are exceedingly scarce with only three appearing at auction in the last 100 years that we could trace. The first English translation was not published until 1549 although there had been Czech French and German editions prior to this. 'The Praise of Folly was written when Erasmus was staying in the house of Thomas More in the winter of 1509-1510. Its title is a delicate and complimentary play on the name of his host: its subject matter is a brilliant biting satire on the folly to be found in all walks of life. The book stemmed from the decision which Erasmus had taken when he left Rome to come to England that no form of preferment could be obtained at the sacrifice of his freedom to read think and write what he liked The work was first secretly printed in Paris and as in other cases its immediate success safeguarded him from the consequences of his audacity Whenever tyranny or absolute power threatened The Praise of Folly was re-read and reprinted. It is a sign of what was in the air that Milton found it in every hand at Cambridge in 1628. His inherent scepticism has led people to call Erasmus the father of 18th-century rationalism but his rationalist attitude is that of perfect common sense to which tyranny and fanaticism were alike abhorrent' PMM 43. Despite the risky nature of the work and its explicit and implicit attacks on established religion and authority figures of the time its rapid popularity ensured that the author and the work were left unmolested by church and state at least until Erasmus' death in 1536 after which his previously untainted reputation was diminished. By 1559 all of his works had been proscribed under the insidious Index Auctorum et Librorum Prohibitorum. Bezzel 1298; cf. PMM 43; Vander Haeghen 122.

1798ref. 167893Philadelphia: Printed by John Ormrod 1798. A "determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied" First American edition of Darwin's treatise on the education of women presented here in a well-preserved contemporary binding. This copy's title page is signed in a contemporary hand by one "Eliza Phelan". Although Darwin ultimately sought to educate women so as to make them useful companions for men his was a more equal "different but complementary" conception of the male-female relationship than was commonly held ODNB. The Plan advocated the creation of dedicated schools for girls where such subjects as botany and experimental philosophy would be taught. "In retrospect the most important feature of the book is his determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied. He was taking the first crucial step along the path that has led to sexual equality and feminism" King-Hele p. 284. Darwin wrote from the start with practical applications in mind: the work originated as advice to his two illegitimate daughters for whom he had bought a converted inn to run as a school for girls. It is perhaps for this reason that the work has been described as "the most appealing of Darwin's prose publications" ibid. p. 282. The Plan was originally published in Derby in 1797: the US edition was published a year later with Darwin's slender tract bound with the unrelated Rudiments of Taste a work which had been published several times before in Philadelphia and London over the previous decade. Duodecimo 168 x 99 mm. Engraved frontispiece numerous engraved head and tailpieces in the text. Contemporary speckled sheep smooth spine ruled in gilt forming 5 compartments red morocco label to second. Late 19th-century book label of one "Jean Rouche" to front pastedown. Small hole to foot of spine very light bumping and wear to extremities small ink stain to p. 38 over text without affecting legibility slight separation within gatherings I-N: a very good copy.

This famous satire was first conceived on the road from Italy to England composed in the house of Erasmus's friend and the dedicatee Thomas More and then first printed under the Latin title Moriae encomium in Paris in 1511. Begun as a paradoxical joke between the two men who had been translating the ancient humorist Lucian together The Praise of Folly is a remarkable work by turns sharp and gentle—but always playful—in its learned treatment of the follies of the world and vision of a humanist life. “The Praise of Folly was written when Erasmus was staying in the house of Thomas More in the winter of 1509–10. Its title is a delicate and complimentary play on the name of his host: its subject matter is a brilliant biting satire on the folly to be found in all walks of life. The book stemmed from the decision which Erasmus had taken when he left Rome to come to England that no form of preferment could be obtained at the sacrifice of his freedom to read think and write what he liked … The work was first secretly printed in Paris and as in other cases its immediate success safeguarded him from the consequences of his audacity … Whenever tyranny or absolute power threatened The Praise of Folly was re-read and reprinted. It is a sign of what was in the air that Milton found it in every hand at Cambridge in 1628. His inherent scepticism has led people to call Erasmus the father of 18th century rationalism but his rationalist attitude is that of perfect common sense to which tyranny and fanaticism were alike abhorrent” PMM. Upon its initial publication in Paris in 1511 Moriae Encomium was hugely popular to Erasmus' astonishment and sometimes his dismay. Even Erasmus' close friends had been initially skeptical and warned him of possible dangers to himself from thus attacking the established religion. Even Pope Leo X and Cardinal Cisneros are said to have found it amusing. Before Erasmus' death it had already passed into numerous editions and had been translated into Czech French and German. An English edition soon followed translated by English poet and diplomat Sir Thomas Chaloner who was renowned among Elizabethans for his Latin verses and pastoral poems three volumes of which were printed during his lifetime by Thomas Berthelet the king’s printer who had published three translations of works by Erasmus in the 1520s.
